Depends on the ship, and whether on ops or ex. Maritime Rule of the Road requires ships to display a variety of frikkin bright lights, so switching from NVG to 'conventional' at a pre-determined point means that the goggles don't shut down 'cos they're switched off/ flipped up. There's always exceptions, and SOPs cover most of the circumstances; overshoot, go around, emergency (ship or aircraft), etc etc all require a variety of responses.
